Reframe your emotions
"It's just really cool to get the opportunity to have all that pressure on you," Joey told me before the season-ending race at Homestead in 2016, where he had a shot to win that year's championship. "A lot of people don't get the opportunity to have pressure. To work hard and get to a certain level and then have pressure ... it's a privilege to feel pressure ." (My italics.)
Logano reframed "pressure" into a positive.
Pressure is a sign you're pushing yourself. And that's a good thing. You can't achieve more unless you try to do more.
When you feel pressured, when you feel nervous or stressed or anxious, reframe the emotion. If you feel pressure, that means you're in a position to make things happen. That's a good thing. If you feel nervous, that means you care. That's a good thing.
